minus-squareowenfromcanada@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up32arrow-down3·5 days agoI had a similar idea for american football. Recruit an offensive line entirely of ex-sumo wrestlers One holds the ball The rest form a protective ring around them They casually walk down the field Anyone who attempts to tackle them is thrown unceremoniously aside like trash Touchdown!
minus-square[deleted]@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·5 days agoThat is what the offensive line is now and they can’t grab anyone to throw them aside because that would be holding.
minus-squaremerc@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days ago Recruit an offensive line entirely of ex-sumo wrestlers After the first play they’re completely exhausted and unable to continue. Sumo wrestlers are good at sumo wrestling. Those are matches that last between 2 and 30 seconds, after which the wrestler gets about an hour to rest.

minus-squaresocsa@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 days agoI think you would be pretty shocked to see sumo champions next to NFL linemen. They weigh about the same, but the NFL players are 3-4 inches taller on average.

Because they’re also fast.
